AVG Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales – Now Through 11/30

Posted on Thursday, November 24, 2011 by MegaZone

AVG Logo AVG is my anti-virus, anti-malware of choice. I’ve been using it on my personal PCs for a number of years now, as well as on devices I configure for others. I’ve also used it for corporate protection in a past job as Director of IT for a small company. I’ve used others, like Norton, McAfee, and Kaspersky, but AVG is the one I’ve standardized on, and so it is the one I selected as an affiliate for this site. And, like everyone else, they’re running a holiday sale. And, like everyone else, it is inaccurately named as their Black Friday/Cyber Monday pricing is in effect now and runs through the end of the month. Go figure.

But the deals are still good.

Verizon Wireless Black Friday/Cyber Monday Promotion!

Posted on Thursday, November 24, 2011 by MegaZone

Verizon Logo Verizon Wireless is offering a number of specials for Black Friday/Cyber Monday. For example, the Motorola Xoom 4G LTE Android Tablet is just $199.99 with 2-year activation, and the HTC Droid Incredible 2 in red is free with 2-year activation. Follow the links below for more deals.

Note the respective dates on these links. Right now they all take you to the same page, but I suspect it will change as each goes live in turn.
Black Friday Deals from Verizon Wireless – 11/24-25
Black Friday Weekend Deals from Verizon Wireless – through 11/27
One Day Only! FREE Droid Incredible 2 by HTC plus free shipping! 11/28

There are also a few ongoing promotions not tied specifically to the holiday:
$299 Motorola RAZR from Verizon Wireless
Up to $300 off plus FREE shipping at Verizon Wireless!
FREE overnight shipping on Verizon Wireless devices $149 and up!

But before you jump on any of these deals, I would recommend checking out the Amazon Wireless Penny-Pincher Sale first. They have a number of smartphones starting at just $0.01.

Edit: Don’t miss the Verizon Cyber Monday deals or the $25 for $50 in Verizon credit from LivingSocial.
